Saleh A.

Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

I decided to work as a tour guide after volunteering in international sports events in Abu Dhabi where I had the chance to meet people from around the world and show them Abu Dhabi, explaining about its history, culture and society.

I have the passion to tell people about my country's unique culture and lifestyle.

Being an Emirati who was born and raised in Abu Dhabi, I feel proud of my city and I love to share its history with guests.My grandfather used to be a camels keeper who used to cross the desert with camels and I think I inherited my passion for camels and desert life from him. I am also knowledgeable about the pearl diving and fishing culture which played a major role in Abu Dhabi economy in the past.I am interested in tours that give to the travellers more insight into the culture and locals' life. Therefore, I do provide some tours that simulate the locals' lifestyle like food tour and shopping tour.Currently I am studying mechanical engineering at Abu Dhabi's Higher Colleges of Technology.

A Recent Review of this guide

We had a great tour in Abu Dhabi today. Our guide, Saleh, was a very pleasant young man, passionate about his country, his city and its history. He gave us an excellent insight into life here. We saw the amazing Grand Mosque, drove along the Corniche, visited the Heritage Village and finally the date souk. A memorable day, thanks to Saleh. We highly recommend him as a guide. Angela Silcocks
